You don't seem to have the idea of what an OEM XP CD is. That
particular OEM XP CD 'could' include all XP apps that are available
on the 'upgrade' or full retail version. OTOH - that particular OEM
XP CD 'could' include nothing but the 'install' files. OEMs are
allowed to include/exclude anything they like - unfortunately.

I'd be very surprised if vendor would dig around deep enough to remove =
the
backup utility - unless they also sell backup solutions ;-)

I'm never surprised as to what some of these OEMs do!!!!
